Subject: is selling in a church building fine? |
Bible Note: That's odd you'd say that Ed. We allow for love offerings when someone comes to speak at our church or play music that glorifies God. Afterwards, meaning after the service, if someone wishes to purchase a book or CD, they can do so. We don't hold auctions in our sanctuary on Sunday. The few times we have had these events the church has given ALL the proceeds to missionaries. We also have aerobics classes, basketball, volleyball and variety of events like dinners there. Why? Because our sanctuary is our gymnasium on certain days other than Sunday. Believe me, when we invite someone to a concert or dinner, or to any event, we plant seeds. Their first reaction is they're amazed what we do for others. All for the glory of God. If that's wrong tell me why. |
